So what have I been up to for the last few weeks? A LOT! Growing, growing growing...they tell me Im around 11 inches from "crown to rump" (which is their fancy way of not including my leg length) and I weigh around a pound to a pound and a half. Hard to believe I know. With a few exceptions most of my hard work making organs, neurons and bodily systems is done, so now I can focus on getting big and healthy for my journey out of this place! The things I'm still working on...my reproductive system for one as well as my production of red blood cells. I've been developing my sense of touch and taste and my taste buds have started to form. I can actually tell a difference in what mom is eating now! She likes spicy stuff and I don't mind it either, but i get really excited when she has something sweet, especially ice cream! I give her big bumps to let her know how much I like it. This touch thing is pretty cool too. I can feel around my face to find my mouth and I like to play with this cord thingy thats attached to my tummy.
My new focus for this week is my lungs. Im not going to need them until I blow this pop stand, but a boys gotta practice to get good at anything right? Mom's still doing all the breathing for the both of us but I'm taking practice breaths to make sure I know what I'm doing when I'm out on my own.
It will be a few more weeks before I get another picture taken but I've convinced mom to get it together and get back to taking those outside photos of me. She promises me she will be much better. Here I am at the start of my 23 week. Can you believe we are in our 6th month!
Love to all,
Tiny T
